This invention relates to dispensers.

.The dispenser .to `which the inventionapplies in particular has a-receptacle to contain .the material to be dispensed anda valve to .control the flow of the material.

An. object of the invention is to provide a dispenser from which the receptacle cannot be removed without .breaking'the same.

Another object is to providean improved KL joint between the receptacle and the dispensingvalve.

Another object is to provide a dispenser .which is. efficient, sturdy and economicalv to manufacture. I

According. to one phase .of the invention, the receptacle is heldagainst removaly from the dispensing valve by a latch whichis rinaccessible until the receptacle is broken.

According .to another phase of the inven- .fg-ion, the dispensing` valve carries a socket anda threaded nipple, the base of the receptacle is-arranged in the socket and connected bya ferrule to the nipple, and a gasket is arranged between the nipple and the valve to prevent .leakage therebetween of the material to be dispensed.

Dispensers embodying the invention are illustrated in the accompanying drawings in which the views are asf follows F ig. 1. isv a central vertical longitudinal .section through a dispenser.

V'llheheadis threaded into a bracket 4which may be fastened to a suitable support.

V .fthe plungerhasa lateral recess 5` to connect the cylinderwith the `outlet port 6 when the plungeris moved inwardly. y

The inner end of the plungerl is provided with a valve 7 to engage a seat 8 arranged in the forward end of the cylinder to preclude theeseape of liquid.

'The inlet porty 9 in the cylinder head is controlled .by a valve 10 on a rod l1 carried by` the plunger.

The rodis sligdable into the plunger andhas a head 12 to limit its outward movement from .theplunger The spring 13 is arranged in the plunger Ato bias the rod outwardly therefrom'.

A spring 14 arranged in the cylinder biases the ,plunger outwardly to Anormal position.

LiquidL is supplied. to thevalve; fromfthe receptacle laarranged in a socket 16 l.on the valve.

, -Aythreadedg nipple 17 is arranged in the socket i and a gpassage 18 extendsv from 5 the nipple through the cylinder casing and com- Ilpuricatesywith the inlet port 9 :in the cylinder {Ehe-receptacle 1may be made of glass. or 1othersuitable.substance and has a ferrule 19 which ypm )vide's anut 2O ltoscrevv onto the nipple and thereby hold the 4receptacle inthe socket. 3 i

A. gasket l21 is arranged-.in the ,bottom of the socketand is compressed by theznut. 2O to preventnleakage;ofthe liquid.' v

:A pawl 22..is-.arrange'd onf the ferrulev to enga-ge ratchet notches-23 inthe socket-walls to-.preventf`=the ferrule and nut rfrom being unscrewed from the nipple.

The coupling thus' providedy locks the rei ceptacle to the valve and prevents thegasket froml being released of pressure.

`The receptacleumay be filled by removing the plug24 at thel top thereof. .95

-llhen the receptacle `becomes brokenand has to .be replaced by az new one, it `may .be removedy `by. chipping away. .the zglass ynear the pawl and then-releasingthepawLand lunscrewing the receptacle from the socket. .,100

The coupling here shown is locked by a pawl arranged in the socket wall and engaging ratchet notches 26 in the ferrule of the receptacle.

Figs. 5 md 6' rEhe coupling here shown has a ferrule 27 threaded to the socket walls and the base of the ferrule struck up to form ratchet notches 2S near the outer periphery.

A pawl 29 is arranged on the bottom of the socket to engage the notches in the base of the ferrule.

A central opening 30 in the base of the ferrule communicates with the passage 18 in the cylinder casing.

A gasket 3l is arranged around the opening 30 between the base of the ferrule and the bottom of the socket to provide a tight joint therebetween.

The nut may be prevented from being loosened by a set screw 33 arranged in the socket wall and bearing against the ferrule to prevent its turning.

A gasket 34 is compressed in the bottom of the socket. Y

The coupling here shown is provided with a bayonet joint having a cam groove or thread 35 arranged in the socket walland lugs 36 on the ferrule to t in the thread.

Aset screw 37 may be provided in the socket wall to hold the ferrule from loosening. i

lA gasket 38 in the bottom of the socket is compressed by the ferrule.
